[Slater] Klay Thompson had a good defensive opener guarding Kevin Durant. Bothered his shot a few times and generated a steal using strip move. “Definitely learned that from Andre Iguodala. Probably the best I’ve ever seen at stripping people.” Here are the clips and a Klay soundbite (0:42)

he’s been doing the slap down before the shot all last year too, no way he can contest at the highest point but getting a hand on it before it even gets there can affect grip and concentration of the shooter even if he doesn’t get the strip
KD was 7 for 22. Had a horrible game and we lost. He ain’t having a game like that next time.

Confirmed, Andrew Iguodala is the best stripper.
Klay is a perfect defender to KD. Because these two fellows are both slow… Klay can guard forward with power but he will be cooked to defend guards with quickness that he used to guard.
